About Rectory Cottage
Rectory Cottage is a detached house in Ilston, Swansea, Swansea (SA2 7LD). It has a recorded floor area of 102 m² (around 1098 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band F. The latest certificate (July 2014) shows an E (score 54), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. When first surveyed in June 2010 the rating was G, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, window efficiency went from Very Poor to Average, lighting went from Average to Good and main heating went from Very Poor to Very Good; while wall efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor and roof efficiency dropped from Very Good to Good. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 3-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity. The latest certificate is from July 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
Held since August 2010 — that's 16 years off the open market, well above the local norm. 5 planning records sit against the property, 0 approved, 3 refused. The record references conservation-area consent, which constrain future alterations. Today's modelled estimate of £488,000 is 39.4% above the 2010 sale price.
